Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

I do like the black/charcoal scheme w/ pinstripes. I have a nice blue color PC-31 and wondered if it would look good if I copied that color scheme exactly, except replace the White with Blue. Might be a bit much.. not sure.?!? I still have time to work on multiple SS sails and figured maybe now is the time since this post has compelled me to make more changes to mine! LOL

When I use a straight sew, it shows directly how sloppy I am, curves from left to right.When I use a zigzag, all those little bends aren't noticable! The control is as easy as a straight sew.And yes, I think it also looks better.Krijn

Forgot to do this with my Sixth Sense... used a straight stitch and its the one thing i regret.

Is it me or did I notice that there is no Mylar reinforcement on the spine of both kites? I have always assumed even when plans don't show the 25mm strip of Mylar for the spine it is still required or strongly recommended. Please let me know if in most instances it is not. I actually happened to first notice that on the Monster plans and images of the Monster from Christian Derefat. No Mylar used on spine. I would have guessed this SS may have been a UL to where spine Mylar wasn't used but I see from the wing pattern the STD model of Mylar was sewn in. Anytime I can preserve materials I will!

I've done it with my Quartz, as was asked for in the plans.And the B'Zar UL 2009, also in the plans.Never again.

None of my kites (I've got a lot [SkysportDesign, Alphakites, Diamondkites, Level One, ViperSportKites, Lumokites, etc.]) has got the Mylar in the middle.Yes, I remember Jest of Eve uses it in the Talon.
